There is a movement in the car world that can best be described by the word "preservation". Car shows, both local and national, are now emphasizing the importance of patina; that is the preservation of visible signs of use and wear. This indicates that the car has been carefully maintained and not overly restored.
Obviously, most automobiles cannot survive forty-eight years without bumping something unless it has the continuous protection of several armed guards. Bill and I spent several hours today straightening and polishing the original bumpers and overriders on Morris. The finished product was astonishing and reflects the new trend toward patina. Additional photos will follow.
